stand now from a dreamer's sleep

stand now from a dreamer's sleep
i will not placate knees first
nor hands with rigid wrists, in blase motions

i want magic
and soon
when eyes crack to golden
pouring through venetians

raise the warrior!
so weak the supine hand in cheek
bring the melee in sheets

for you will levitate
at first light
to prove to prove
yes it is alive

mountains inverted holding molten
silver matching water puffs
saunter lightly, some call it sea

step on the frog brains
brains but the legs still kick
note your spasm in sleep

please don't yawn and rinse the taste
knuckle the brow
release the night-smoke

pure the son et lumeire
burning great
o god the parade, and you the lead

after such tepid hours
baking astronomically basted
escapee I call you blessed
swimming naked, flying feathered

Not so unnatural the only question
primed on tipped tongue
if the clown be girl
or bound the woman

i won't have it shun the maniacal
ta - ta normalcy in
apneatic gasps

i won't have you
treasonous leper,
ruby island castaway,
cowardly waker

the majesty of lidded dominion
demands her sprite leap
